Storyline

In the near future, advances in genetics and technology have eliminated all physical and psychological suffering. This is accomplished by means of remotely filtering negative sensations through surrogate human beings artificially cloned and warehoused for this purpose in storage vats. Detective Mario Cabal (Gustavo Sanchez Parra) investigates the case of a beautiful young woman (Alejandra Ambrosi) whose "depositario," or surrogate, has been abducted by a jilted ex-boyfriend (Cesar Ramos). When Mario discovers the kidnapper has awakened the surrogate in the hopes of reuniting with his beloved, the detective begins to question whether the surrogates are devoid of consciousness, as is largely believed. He begins to have second thoughts about condemning to surrogacy the second, cloned fetus his wife is carrying to term along with their unborn child.
